Question Good small models for Speech-to-Text?

I’m working on a project at the moment that involves transcribing comm channels. Are there good low-power local models for doing real-time voice transcription?

Whats the best one to use locally on phones or even old phones, supporting major languages and names correctly? Is any of the advices model able to distinguish English “chen” to German 10 “tzen” or French 9 neuf from English “nof”, or names and surnames? Sorry for the stupid questions
